The rotary Club of Nashville is a nonprofit group comprised of business and civic leaders.

"This really embodies our motto of service above self," said Evette White, president of the Rotary Club of Nashville. "It's a great partnership with Second Harvest.

"In fact, our relationship with Second Harvest is our signature partner for our Rotary Club. And our Rotary Club is the third largest in the world out of 34,000 clubs, so it's a big club and a big partnership."

A single food box contains both perishable and nonperishable food, and can feed a family for about a week, Second Harvest chief development and marketing officer Nancy Keil-Culberson said.
